* Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.

* Use the following ECC key loaded from JWK format.

* Create the JWS Protected Header

* Set the ECC key:

* Set the payload.

lcPayloadStr = "In our village, folks say God crumbles up the old moon into stars."
loJws.SetPayload(lcPayloadStr,"utf-8",lnBIncludeBom)

* Create the JWS
